The team leader continues to say loudly: „ Regiment engineers often told us, ‚construction smooth main road can make us walk conveniently, unearthing the drainage can carry off the sewage and trash, maintains the city to be clean, viaduct can the limpid mountain stream direct introduction city, omit the trouble that we drew water back and forth, can continue the water used......’. 队长大声的继续说道:“军团工程师时常告诉我们,‘修建平坦的大道可以让我们行走方便,挖掘水沟可以带走污水和垃圾、保持城市清洁,高架水桥可以将清澈的溪水直接引入城内,省去了我们来回提水的麻烦,可以持续用水……’。 Chief executive Hielos also told us, Sir Davos has said that ‚any Thurii some convenient facility that other Theonia cities must construct, must let each Theonia citizen, no matter in Thurii, was in other cities, can enjoy the clean and convenient life!......’ ” 行政长官希洛斯还告诉我们,戴弗斯大人说过,‘凡是图里伊有的便民设施,其他戴奥尼亚城市也要建,要让每一个戴奥尼亚公民不管是在图里伊,还是在其他城市,都能享受到干净、便利的生活！……’” The team leader exciting voice of causes waiting and seeing of some working soldiers, Sisticos for fear that causes anything to misunderstand, was not good to say anything again, but the team leader does not want again with this Crotone envoy who looked down upon Lucanians said anything. 队长激动的声音引得一些干活士兵的观望,西斯普罗提斯生怕引起什么误会,不好再说什么,而队长也不想再跟这位瞧不起卢卡尼亚人的克罗托内使者多说什么。 Sisticos leads the way silently, he even noticed that has the person of scholar appearance to survey anything in the corner with the instrument( is being right angle measuring instrument, for surveying construction whether vertical), but also some people draw a line in the roadside with the pulverized lime, told the soldier to unearth the position of drainage...... the facial expression of everyone is very dedicated, this made Sisticos many somewhat touch. 西斯普罗提斯默默前行,他甚至看到有学者模样的人在街角用仪器在测量着什么(是直角测量仪,用于测量建筑是否垂直),还有的人用石灰粉在路边划线,告诉士兵挖掘水沟的位置……每一个人的神情都很专注,这让西斯普罗提斯多少有些触动。 Greeks can construct the solemn and respectful grand temple, the broad in scale arenas, the exquisite firm theater...... they have this time Mediterranean peak building technology, but will actually not apply them in improving the infrastructure of people's lives, the people are also accustomed to the crudeness of material life, but concentrates on the energy in the political life, sports, athletics and play city-state...... seems like, only then Theonian in path and bridge, infrastructure that the drainage, Yinshui Qiao wait/etc other Greek city-state are not willing to make puts in a huge amount of manpower and physical resources, Sisticos has not gone to newly-built Thurii, but the Theonia main road in the entire southern Italy is quite. Being well-known. It seems like barbaric Lucanians Theonia to the life style that founds yearned continually very, wants to come to have its appealing place...... in the Sisticos heart to think inevitably, goes to the Aprustum city hall, saw just took office less than two days of Hielos as well as temporary defense officer Asistes. 希腊人可以建造出肃穆宏伟的神庙,规模宏大的竞技场,精妙坚固的剧院……他们拥有这个时代地中海最顶尖的建筑技术,但是却不会将它们应用于改善民众生活的基础设施上,民众们也习惯于物质生活的简陋,而把精力都投注在城邦的政治生活、体育、竞技、戏剧……看来似乎只有戴奥尼亚人在道路、桥梁,水沟、引水桥等等其他希腊城邦不愿做的基础设施方面投入大量的人力和物力,西斯普罗提斯没有去过新建的图里伊,但戴奥尼亚大道在整个意大利南部是相当的闻名。看来连野蛮的卢卡利亚山民都对戴奥尼亚所创建的这种生活方式十分向往,想来必然有它吸引人的地方……西斯普罗提斯心中想着,不知不觉间就来到阿斯普鲁斯图姆的市政厅,见到了刚刚上任不到两天的希洛斯以及临时的守备官亚西斯特斯。 Is listening to the request of Sisticos, Hielos and Asistes somewhat are surprised: Just slaughtered with Crotonians bloody, in an instant became the ally, once is Crotonians of enemy also requests the help to them now...... 在听完西斯普罗提斯的请求,希洛斯和亚西斯特斯都有些吃惊:刚刚与克罗托内人血腥厮杀,转眼就成为盟友,曾是敌人的克罗托内人现在却又向他们请求帮助…… These two general are even experienced, 1 time in the sentiment somewhat is still hard to accept. 这两位将领即使久经沙场,在感情上一时间也有些难以接受。 Hielos discrete saying: „Helps Crotone defend Locri, this means that Theonia must make war with Locri, such big decision is not we can decide that needs the approval of Theonia council.” 希洛斯谨慎的说道:“帮助克罗托内防御洛克里,这意味着戴奥尼亚要跟洛克里开战,这么重大的决定不是我们所能决定的,需要戴奥尼亚元老院的准许。” „We understand certainly, our another envoy has taken the express steamer, rushed to Thurii. However, the Locri army has invaded our land, is burning down our villages, to slaughter our people...... and other orders of Theonia council to arrive, in Crotone will have many people to lose the life! Many houses will be burnt down!......” Sisticos implored urgently, was saying to be saying, even had tears streaming down the face: „Theonia has always observed the commitment since establishment, as the Crotone ally, looks that like this Crotonians does suffer distress to see somebody in danger and do nothing?!” “我们当然明白,我们的另一位使者已经乘坐快船,赶往图里伊了。但是,洛克里的军队已经侵入了我们的土地,正在焚烧我们的村庄、屠杀我们的民众……等戴奥尼亚元老院的命令到达,克罗托内境内将会有多少民众会失去生命！多少房屋会被烧毁！……”西斯普罗提斯苦苦哀求,说着说着,甚至泪流满面:“戴奥尼亚自建立以来一向信守承诺,作为克罗托内的盟友,难道就这样看着克罗托内人受难而见死不救吗？！” Two did not have many general of political experience to feel somewhat awkwardly, Asistes tried every means to persuade, significant, we needed discussion on the grounds of the matter, will be cleaning the tears Sisticos to bring forcefully. 两位还没有多少政治经验的将领感到有些尴尬,亚西斯特斯好说歹说,以事情重大、我们需要商议为由,强行将正擦拭泪水的西斯普罗提斯带了下去。 When he returns to the hall, Hielos after the thinking, had restored calmly: „Asistes, I prepare to comply with the Crotone messenger's request, dispatches troops to go to west bank Targines river, preventing the Locri person to enter the Crotone core area.” 等他回到大厅,希洛斯经过思索,已经恢复了镇静:“亚西斯特斯,我准备答应克罗托内使者的请求,派兵前往塔奇纳迪河西岸,阻止洛克里人进入克罗托内的核心地区。” „What?! You permitted without council, makes war with Locri arbitrarily, Sir Davos will certainly be angry!” Asistes remembers Sesta when Nerulum makes a decision without authorization and harms themselves to suffer Davos criticism, immediately the head swings looks like the rattle-drum to be common: „It is not good! This is not definitely good!” “什么？！你未经元老院许可,就擅自与洛克里开战,戴弗斯大人一定会非常生气！”亚西斯特斯想起在尼乌图姆时塞斯塔擅作主张、害自己挨戴弗斯批评一事,当即头摇得像拨浪鼓一般:“不行！这肯定不行！” „Who said that prevents the Locri person to with them make war, we can...... Hielos say our consideration like this” prudently. “谁说阻止洛克里人就一定要和他们开战,我们可以这样……”希洛斯慎重的说出自己的考虑。 The Asistes hear, thinks carefully, looks some to worry: „Does this to be too risky?! If by some chance Locri really launches the attack to our armies recklessly, what to do that should?” 亚西斯特斯听完,仔细想了想,面露些许担忧:“这样做会不会太冒险？！万一洛克里不顾一切真的对我们的部队发动进攻,那该怎么办？” „Asistes, you must know, although the Theonia alliance is founded is also less than one year, but we are very high in the Magna Graecia prestige, is not only in the military wins again and again, because also Sir Davos leads us always to insist own faith! When we are very small and weak, facing forcing of powerful Crotone, still without giving up with the Thurii union, the ally imploring the aid to us now, we do not extend the aid in the situation that can help, does the defensive alliance treaty of then just with Crotone signing what potency have?! How does Crotonians think?! Come time, Sir Davos and council warned that we can maintain the peaceful and friendly aspect to realize with Crotone?! Other Magna Graecia city-state can also believe that our Theonia can stick to the commitment? I understand Sir Davos, facing this situation, he will certainly dispatch troops to protect Crotone without hesitation! If Locri dares to attack, he launch counter-attack without hesitation!” “亚西斯特斯,你要知道,戴奥尼亚联盟虽然成立还不到一年,但是我们在大希腊的声望很高,不光是军事上连连胜利,同时也因为戴弗斯大人带领我们始终坚持自己的信念！当我们很弱小的时候,面对强大的克罗托内的逼迫,仍然没有放弃与图里伊的同盟,现在我们的盟友向我们祈求援助,我们在可以帮助的情况下不伸出援手,那么刚刚与克罗托内签订的防御同盟条约还有什么效力？！克罗托内人会怎么想？！来的时候,戴弗斯大人和元老院告诫我们要与克罗托内保持和平友好的局面能实现吗？！其他大希腊城邦还能相信我们戴奥尼亚能坚守承诺吗？我了解戴弗斯大人,面对这种情况,他一定会毫不犹豫的出兵保护克罗托内！如果洛克里敢进攻,他会毫不犹豫的发动反击！” Hielos spoke these words sincerely, Asistes somewhat changes countenance, his low voice defended one oneself: „I not do not agree to dispatch troops, but wants first to obtain the instruction of Sir Davos.” 希洛斯语重心长的说完这番话,亚西斯特斯有些动容,他小声的为自己辩护了一句:“我并不是不同意出兵,只是想先得到戴弗斯大人的指令。” „This comes one also to take more than one day most quickly, when the order arrives, perhaps the Locri person had crossed Targines river, causes very big losses to the Crotone suburbs, since we must aid Crotone, wants, when they most need appears!” “这一来一回最快也要一天多,等到命令到达,洛克里人恐怕已经渡过塔奇纳迪河,对克罗托内的城郊造成很大的损失,我们既然要援助克罗托内,就要在他们最需要的时候出现！” The Hielos facial expression is firm, the spoken language is powerful, Asistes was moved: „Good, I agree to dispatch troops. However, must send the messenger to rush to Thurii urgently, explained our decisions!” 希洛斯神情坚定,言语有力,亚西斯特斯被打动了:“好吧,我同意出兵。不过,要派信使加急赶往图里伊,说明我们的决定！” „This should be!” The Hielos nod said. “这是应该的！”希洛斯点头说道。 Sisticos obtains the notice of Hielos: Theonia will fulfill the treaty of alliance, making Aprustum send out the army, helping Crotone defend the governing territory. Excited, over and over expressed gratitude to Hielos and Asistes. 西斯普罗提斯得到希洛斯的通知:戴奥尼亚将履行盟约,让阿斯普鲁斯图姆派出部队,帮克罗托内守御领地。不禁激动万分,再三向希洛斯和亚西斯特斯表示感谢。 But once Hielos makes the decision that goes to battle with, entire Aprustum starts to go into action, the 2500 third regiment was gathered rapidly, is led by Asistes, immediately to south, Hielos only kept 500 people to guard the city. 而希洛斯一旦作出出征的决定,整个阿斯普鲁斯图姆就开始行动起来,2500名第三军团被迅速集合起来,由亚西斯特斯率领,立即向南出发,希洛斯只留了500人镇守城池。 ........................ …………………… Locri the thousand people attack the brigade almost not with any resistance, smooth approaching Targines river, leaves behind stretch of ruins. If several hundred years ago ancient customs time, the war between city-state is sentimental, both sides decide the time place to engage in a decisive battle, before the battle, even also has the duel between warriors, the battle wins a side also rarely to pursue. But to the present, the war between city-state is frigid, a side of failure was destroyed the nation, to destroy clan to be many, therefore powerful side attack, small and weak can only certainly hide in the city defends, then attack does not hope the storm city, the choice smashes the farmland, the burning down villages and slaughter people...... and so on atrocities, forcing the opposite party to come out to fight, was the matter of potluck. For example: When Peloponnesian War, Sparta from land advance Athens, Athens knew on the land is unable to strive for hegemony with Sparta, making the people hide in the Athens long wall, causing the Attica area to be trampled the desolate and uninhabited wilderness by the Peloponnese person. 洛克里的这支千人袭击大队几乎未遇任何抵抗,顺利的逼近塔奇纳迪河,身后留下一片废墟。如果是几百年前的古风时代,城邦间的战争还算温情脉脉,双方约定时间地点进行会战,会战前甚至还有勇士间的决斗,会战胜利一方也很少追击。而到了现在,城邦间的战争已经非常惨烈,失败的一方被毁邦、毁族者甚多,因此强大一方进攻,弱小者当然只能躲在城里防守,那么进攻者不愿强攻城池,选择捣毁农田、焚烧村庄、屠杀民众……等等暴行,逼迫对方出来战斗,就是家常便饭的事了。比如:伯罗奔尼撒战争时,斯巴达从陆路进攻雅典,雅典自知在陆地上无法与斯巴达争雄,让民众躲进了雅典长墙内,导致阿提卡地区被伯罗奔尼撒人践踏成荒无人烟的荒野。 But these methods can also weaken the fighting will of enemy nation, like the Theonia soldier in the Crotone Northern Plain and Crotone soldier the matter that the Sybaris plain handles, Locri and a Crotone dozens years of enmity makes the Locri person when handling these things, but also were many a goal- gives vent to indignation, therefore they do very thoroughly, therefore slowed the marching speed. 而这些手段还可以削弱敌邦的战斗意志,就像戴奥尼亚士兵在克罗顿北部平原、克罗托内士兵在绪巴里平原所做的事情一样,洛克利和克罗托内几十年的仇怨使得洛克里人在做这些事情时,还多了一个目的-就是泄愤,所以他们做得很彻底,也因此拖慢了行军速度。 Hearing the front is not Targines river, the Locri soldiers wishes one could to bridge over it immediately, crashes in the Crotone core region to kill and burn to plunder. When they rush to the Targines river West bank in high spirits, the discovery front had an army to block the way. 听到前方不远就是塔奇纳迪河,洛克里士兵们恨不能立刻跨过它,冲进克罗托内的核心地带烧杀抢掠一番。等他们兴冲冲地赶至塔奇纳迪河西岸时,却发现前方有一支军队挡住了去路。 Theophantes was leads general of this Unit Locri, in the heart to exude the whisper: The information of navy did not say that Crotone has sent out the complete soldier, in the city is the military void? Is this freeman who recruits newly? 狄奥潘托斯是率领这支洛克里的将领,心中泛起了嘀咕:海军的情报不是说克罗托内已经派出了全部的士兵,城内兵力空虚吗？难道这是新招募的自由民？ He fixes the eyes on to look, sees only the front army to arrange neat phalanx, each one is tall, stands upright straightly, the helmet, breastplate and shin armor, the round shield and thorn spear/gun, the complete heavy infantry equipment, entire phalanx is silent like a mountain range, before that oppressive imposing manner lets , the Locri person who is still chatting loudly starts becomes peaceful. 他定睛看去,只见前方的这支军队排列着整齐的方阵,个个身材高大,笔直挺立,头盔、胸甲、胫甲、圆盾、刺枪,全副的重步兵装备,整个方阵静默得如同一座山峦,那种压迫性的气势让之前还在大声说笑的洛克里人开始变得安静起来。 „Looks at that flag quickly!” Some people point at center opposite phalanx to hold high a red flag, calls out in alarm. “快看那旗帜！”有人指着对面方阵正中高举着一面红色大旗,惊呼。 The look good Locri soldier can see: Has a character copper statue that in the flag peak is opening the both wings and hand-held treasured sword. 眼神好的洛克里士兵能够看到:在旗帜顶端有一尊张着双翅、手持宝剑的人物铜雕像。 „Probably god of death.” Some person of indefinite saying. “好像是死神。”有人不确定的说道。 God of death?! Theophantes recalled just returned to Locri Metofeles to mention him at the powwow in the past few days in the Theonia story, he realizes immediately: Front unusual army not from Crotone, but forced Theonia that Crotone sums a short time ago, one one year ago has not had and actually become the Magna Graecia pivotal mysterious city-state alliance in an instant! 死神？！狄奥潘托斯记起前些天刚刚回到洛克里的梅特洛菲尼斯在议事会上说起他在戴奥尼亚的见闻,他立刻意识到:前方的这支不同寻常的军队不是来自克罗托内,而是前不久逼迫克罗托内求和的戴奥利亚,一个一年前还不存在、却转眼间成为大希腊举足轻重的神秘城邦联盟！ Theophantes is anxious immediately, hurries to start to rally the scattered in disorder team. 狄奥潘托斯立刻紧张起来,慌忙开始重整散乱的队伍。 At this time, the opposite spread a squad cavalry, is deciding from a Locri army approximately 50 meters advance party. Middle that wears the purple to withstand/top general of crown helmet, loud speech, but other cavalries are transaudient: „I am Theonia alliance's third regiment chief Asistes! Theonia and Crotone have signed the union defense treaty before, according to the treaty of alliance, Theonia has the responsibility to protect the security of Crotone territory! The Locri person, Theonia has no intention to have the war with you, but if you also stay on the Crotone land, we have to drive away you!” 这时,对面驰来一小队骑兵,在距离洛克里军阵约50米前站定。中间那位戴着紫色顶冠头盔的将领,大声说话,而其他骑兵担任传声员:“我是戴奥尼亚联盟第三军团大队长亚西斯特斯！戴奥尼亚与克罗托内在之前已经签署了同盟防御条约,根据盟约,戴奥尼亚有责任保护克罗托内领地的安全！洛克里人,戴奥尼亚无意与你们发生战争,但如果你们还停留在克罗托内的土地上,我们将不得不对你们进行驱赶！” In Locri array a tumult. 洛克里阵列里一阵骚动。 Damn! Theophantes criticizes one, the matter that most is worried about happened finally. 该死！狄奥潘托斯暗骂一声,最担心的事终于发生了。 Theonia and Crotone forming an alliance incident when several days ago pass to Locri, causing the entire powwow is shocking, everyone gives scolding Crotone to be shameless, coward. 戴奥尼亚与克罗托内结盟一事在几天前传到洛克里时,引得整个议事会震惊,大家纷纷痛骂克罗托内无耻、懦夫。
